INTERSTATE COMMERCE.,

ATLANTA, GA, April 12.-The Con,li,u.
ton this morning publishes q long inter.
view with General E. A. Alexander, PresI.
dent Of the Central Railroad system, on
the Interstate Commerce act.
General Alexander says: 1.-THE great
trouble Is that the law as 1t stands will
not permit competition. Under the pool.
ing syatem the practical destruction Of
competition Is destroyed by II. The pool
was flexible affair, adjusting itself fully
and freely to the demands OF the trade. 10

necessitiee and interests OF business com.

Is law that may tit the North and East.
but It's effect will be very seriously fell in
the South wherever ita provisions are car.
ried out. 7IT-77'' = 80
until the passage OF the Interstate
Commerce act there was no restraint upon
free competition among carriers, No
penalty was attached to It, and It became
an universal custom wherever two lines
came into contract. This gave advantage
to such points not possessed by others, and
business conferred at them. Manufactures
sprang up and property increased in value
around them. Places which were non.
competitive exerted themselves and raised
money by various devices to secure com.
petition. Many OF them have, perhaps,
paid much more than the advantages were
worth.
ut seems at frat not q yerv serjoua
thing to do. but / think, upon e1amina.
tion and reflection, 1t will appear to have
very far.reaching effects. The values OF
property all over tho Southern territory
have crystallized under conditions which
will be materially changed if penalties are
to be charged to competition. The aitua.
tion will not be unlike what would result
in a manufacturing district which had
grown up for forty years under a protec.
tive tariff. Values would be all unsettled
and would have to resdjust themselves.
This is always slow process"

us the country around us was sight
to behold. There were at least
$50 dead or crippled animals in
sight, and there was a swath seven
miles wide, which had cut the very
life out of the prairie. OF all our
camp equipage we could not find one
solitary article of wood, or iron, or
leather. All our horses had been
trampled under within less than
mile of the grove, and their bodies
were sights no one could look at twice.
We spread out to see what had befal-
len the Indians, and we did not have
to go far. They had been knocked

What He Says in a Special to the
New York Sun.
LEWISTON, Me-, Nov. Ex-senator Frye,
in an interview to-day when asked his
opinion of the Fisheries Commission, said:
You mean the meeting Of supernumera-
ries whom Mr.. Bayard has called to his side
and the commissioners whom England has
sent. | correct you advisedly, for the Sec
rotary of State, having learned that the
President had no authority in law TO appoint
a commission, has suddenly changed the
name Of his assistants from commissioners
to negojators. Well, this commission is
here; now what can it do.
II fail to see that it can do anything. The
American members can get Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlains views, and that is about all
[ should judge from Secretary Bayard's
conduct that he already has the views of
Minister West
What do you understand to be the object
of the Commissionp
From England's attitude l should say
that it was the original purpose to appoint
a commission To settle the fisheries dispute
From the recent alleged utterances of Mr.
Bayard, l should say that he intended to
use Messrs. Putnam and Angel as advisers
in negotiating treaty"
"And what would the Senate do with a
treaty~
"That, of course, l cannot say; but have
no hope that one can be made with England
chat would be acceptable to the United
States. Canada wishes our market for ag-
ricultural products, lumber and fish. The
only thing they can give us in return is a
market for manufactured goods. Great
Britain will never consent to have our prod
ucts go into one of her colonies free of duty
while hers is subject to them
"Do you think this Commission will at
tempt anything in regard to commercial
unionr
II don't doubt that Mr.. Bayard's associ-
ates, being men of the highest intelligen e,
will attempt anything like that CONNER
cial union at present is simply a myth.
Canada must first become independent, you
know. The same reason that | gave why
England would not consent to treaty nc

advantage for New England in the proposed

The Decline of the Monogram.

NEW York, Nov 19--No fashion could
have become more completely extinct than
the one much abused custom Of decorating
every available piece Of personal property
with monogram. At one time, not 50 very
far distant congloineration of hierog*hp-
les was to be observed wherever they
could be placed and although nobody ever
took the trouble to decipher these twisted
scrolls and letters it was somehow tacitly
under stood that their existence lent an adj
ditional Importance to the owner OF the ar
ricle thus adorned Nowadays, when fash
ions are gradually tending toward the sim
plea unobtrusive. we remark with pleas
ure that the monogram is becoming exceed
ingly rare. HandKerchiefs though they may
be boriered with the richest lace aie inno-
cent of embroidered letters. Note paper
and envelopes are quite plain and the best
style of seal used bears the impress of a
snall crest and nothing more. But suppose
one has 10 coat of arms and consequently no
cresti Is one therefore to be debaIred from
sealing ones letters with fancy wax In this
case the only permissible substitute would be
a tiny initial letter. A seal OF thi, kind can
never be in bad taste. In marking table
linen the monogram has entirely disap-
pc red, the two or three initials that stand
for the hostess name being embroidered
across the cloth in simple pattern. Any
thing more elaborate is considered vulgar
AS for monographs on underwear they are
positively tabooed by women Of real taste
and refinement. Embroidery, when well
done is IN Itself always beautiful, but mon
ograms that no one can possibly read, are
meaningless and their decline should be en-
couraged. CLARA LAMA.

KEEPsAKEs IN WATCHES.
Serious Trouble Caused by the Forget
fulness OF a Jewelry Workman

fulneSS OF a JeWelry Workman.
From, the Jetcelers' Weekly.
In four GU, of every five watches brought
us TO be regulated, repaired or cleaned we
find some token. Sometimes IL is bit OF
ribbon or lock of hair. or a rose petal.
But oftener it's a four-leaf clover. The
four-leaf clover is love token always. 1t
is by the maiden fair g ven to her lover, who
tenderly slows it away in the back OF his
watch case and forgets all about it, When
his watch goes wrong he takes it to jew
eler and doesn't think of the relic 1t con-
tains. 1t is difficult always to keep these
things straight, and once i'll while we mix
them up.
One fellow came in a short time ago and
registered kick He took out of his watch
tiny bit of blonde hair tied with piece OF
pink ribbon, and told me in good round
terms that it had got him into trouble. II
brought my watch here a couple of weeks
ago to be regulated, and forgot to take out
a four-leaf clover had in the back of it.
| didn't think any more about it till last
night, when my girl looked in the back case
to see If the clover was still there. When
she found this lock of blonde hair she fixed
me with cold, glittering glance and offered
me back my ring. / put in the next hour
trying to explain that didn't know any
thing about the Internal blonde hair, and
didn't meet with fiattering success. Now,
if you don't hunt up that clover I'll make
more t. ouble in your BANKED old store than
deputy sheriff. And you've got to give
me written statement that you put this
dashed blonde hair in my watch or I'll
prosecute you for malicious mischief. You
hear mer'
Well, foresaw trouble in the air, but
took the yellow hair and pink ribbon and
laid it away, and i'll day or two middle
aged man came in with wrath all over his
face. "What in thunder do you mean by
disrupting mans family peacef he began
as he pulled out his watch and took four
leaf clover out OF the back case.
do You want to break up loving house
hold and get me into q divorce court. left
my watch here with a lock of my wifes
hair it, ana last night she found this meas
ly four-leaf clover in place of it. I've car
riel that bit of hair ever since we were en-
gagged and if don't get it back, you had
better move to some other town. What
dye mean, anyway never picked four
leaf clover in my life, nor did my wife either.
| Won dn't go through the row l had last
night again for your whole BANKED store.
Now you hustle and get me back my own
keepsake"
produced it and explained how it had
occurred and his brow cleared. Now |
think of it," he said, as he started to go,
Just you write me letter and tell how
this happened and sign it and seal it for all
you're worth. Women never believe man
unless he lies to 'em, and | want something
to save me further trouble" | did so, and
he departed with his mind at rest.
The other young man came in in day or
two and said he desired to make his regular
Thursday evening call and wanted his four
leaf clover and the accompanying affidavit.
He got them both.
